Re: [A/S] Safari Spare
Joy:
Yes, the extension is nice...We found that we could open our Suburban
tailgate (on the '84) without hitting the tongue jack, and can open
the barn doors (on the '99). You'll check, of course, but we've
found that everything on the trailer clears nicely even in the
tightest turns. That's not why we bought the Hensley, but it is a
nice addition.
Incidentally, be sure to check the U-brackets on your springbars,
where the springbar jacks connect. The holes should be oval in
shape. On ours, installed last year, the holes were round. The oval
hole allows a slight vertical movement when hitching, and makes it
nioticeably easier. I bought a pair (they're not expensive) for my
hitch, after Carl and Cindy mentioned them on list, and am glad I did.
